Shooting Tech

I've come to the point in my project where I need to start looking for a bipod. I have no idea as to which manufacturers are good and which are cheap so any information that you might have on the subject would be greatly appreciated.

I was thinking about $50 and under for a bipod. I'm going to be target shooting with it so I don't need to worry about moving targets or uneven ground. Just need one that is stable and won't break on me.

Harris was THE bipod for quite a while, and they still are pretty popular. The base models are around $100 though... and lack canting ability.

Alot of guys like the Atlas bipod... but they are quite expensive. They have interchangeable feet though. http://www.accu-shot.com/Atlas_Bipods.php These usually mount on a rail that's fitted to the stock.

If you want to stay under $50, then just about any harris knockoff will work. Caldwell, UTG, that NcStar, Blackhawk, and a myriad of others... are all knockoffs, and the difference in price is reflected in better materials.

For cheaper bipods, I've got one caldwell... and two Blackhawk. The nice thing about Blackhawks is that Wal-mart carries them. They also have a cant ability, and the prone/bench model is around $45 I believe.

Also, just about all the harris knock-offs mount to a sling swivel.
